Puzzling why Labour MSPs should ask SNP Scot Gov’s help to keep the People’s Story Museum open, when it is the *Labour* Edinburgh Council administration that closed it - without any consultation. All the more bemusing given the museum was set up by the Labour party decades ago.

No Apology For Forming Labour Party – NLC President The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, has said that they owe no one any apology for forming the Labour Party. In an interview with Channels Television on Tuesday night, Ajaero stated that the party was created to enable regular Nigerians to run for office and win. He also noted that even Peter Obi, the party's standard bearer, is not a member of any labour organisation. Ajaero said in part, “We don’t have any apology for forming the Labour Party. Historically, the Labour Party is organised and formed by trade unions all over the world and I have said elsewhere that from early 1918 down the line to 1945, Michael Imodu came up with the Labour Party. In 1964, Imodu and others formed a party. “Within that time when Adams Oshiomhole was contesting the governorship, the Labour Party aligned with those that formed the APC, AD, the ACN then, to sponsor Adams for him to have a joint ticket and it wasn’t a crime if the Labour Party decides to form an alliance with the other political parties. “Thereafter, we changed to and decided to have our own political party and today we’re not in alliance with any political party. And we don’t have an apology for forming a political party that will be beneficial to all the ordinary Nigerians …all the members of the Labour Party are not workers. “They’re not members of trade unions. People in the National Assembly and even the Presidency are not members of trade unions. The presidential candidate of the Labour Party is not in any way related to any Labour union. “Any Nigerian that wants to belong to the Labour Party is free. The reason we formed the Labour Party is that Nigerian workers under the minimum wage cannot buy form and contest elections under any of the political parties be it APC or PDP. “That’s why we say we must have our own political party where a messenger or clerk can contest elections and win. Even Okada riders are in the National Assembly today through the Labour Party. If anybody is having any doubt about it, the aim of forming the LP has been achieved.” --- Follow us for more breaking news and videos

Powerful people from all parties failed to protect girls like me from being raped and abused. But Labour were worst of all. It was in Labour-led Telford where I was asked by a CSE detective if I had “consented to sexual activity” at any point. It was local Labour politicians that called Pakistani-Muslim grooming gang survivors “paki shaggers” and “white slags”. It was in Labour-run Rochdale and Rotherham where local services turned little girls away and handed them straight back to their abusers because they didn’t want to be called racist. Labour councils. Labour politicians. Labour councillors. Labour-led local authorities. Labour-controlled police forces. So long as Labour is the sole leader of the National Grooming Gangs Inquiry, there is no chance of justice or change. The appointment of a Labour Peer with no legal experience to chair an investigation into the worst legal and systemic failure this country has ever seen? It’s a farce. Labour cannot be the face of justice. Not when they were the architects of the very atrocities we are fighting to expose. Nothing will change, nothing will get better, and we will be letting Labour mark their own homework and sweep their corruption under the rug with the veneer of an “impartial inquiry”. The only way the inquiry stands a chance of succeeding is if Reform, the Tories, survivors, apolitical experts, whistleblowers and legal professionals are given a seat at the table. And the only way that will happen is by tearing up their current “plan” and starting from scratch. Without Labour at the helm. It must be cross-party. It must be expert and survivor-led. And, most importantly, it must be free from the Labour Party’s iron grip.
